Do you mean certain functions, or certain hosts. Either way, we do both 
and the authentication is done to the AD domain so you use your normal 
passwords and userid's.

Re: [hobbit] Wanna show off.



I totally agree and have an example : the company where i work.
We monitor 4 datacenters with it and it work great.
Sadly, hobbit hasn't the possibility to create profiles and granty access 
to only some parts of the web console.
So we are thinking to move on another product, preferably in a model 
between entreprise and community product.
i'm sad we can't wait the new releases of xymon coming... but we need to 
admit that hobbit, however good it is, has not thoses functionalities yet

Reagds,

Denis

You need to remember, the purpose of IT is to provide solutions, not run 
preferred software. 
And this cuts both ways.
You can't run Hobbit just because you like it.
But by the same token, your PHB can't run his commercial stuff, just 
because he likes it.
It needs to provide a solution to a business need.

One of the things you might find yourself up against, is that Hobbit 
doesn't have "Golf days" with free booze, and fancy cocktail parties and 
product launches with open bar tabs, goodie-bags and other junkets that 
the big vendors can provide.
And, for the morally elastic PHB, this is the clincher, not the quality of 
the solution.

Good luck.

Where can I find the Hobbit User list? Our company is being monitored 
by Xymon but we have a new manager here that suffers from MS mania. 
He now wants to spend a couple of thousand dollars on a new monitoring 
system.
I am not going to back down without a fight so if I can show him this 
list maybe he will realize the error of his ways.
